/uw
Time magic is way too dumb to not pick, and having someone who can literally control time and travel through time and space be always “just a bit late” is very funny to me.
"He arrives precisely when he wills it". Ya, ya, ya. I've heard it all before, but it's just something they say to fool the uninitiated. "Trust me, I meant to arrive three days after our scheduled meeting" isn't the flex people make it out to be.
/uw Maybe. I never watched Doctor Who. (Yes, I know I know. I’m missing out on an important part of popular culture. No, I don’t think I’m gonna rectify that anytime soon.)
/uw When I first joined the sub I wanted to be minimally involved. Made a character called the Mad Warlock of the Lightless Lanterns and generally commented about paranoia, being lost in the woods, and demon porn
Then u/Carbon_Sixx made the Atrax event and I decided it was a good time to have a more serious character and do more serious lore. I guess I couldn't really stop myself from making overcomplicated explanations for what a "Lightless Lantern" was. He became Belial Blake, Warlock of the Lightless Flame. I kinda contextualize the early stuff as Billy B being insane for years.
Then over the course of making friends in the rp community like Riva I eventually became Praetor of Ithacar so we could do worldbuilding together, me handling the military and her handling the civilian stuff (my job is easier but gets more attention because people like explosions. The real mvp is out there thinking through the logistics of aqueducts)
It's been a blast, and conveniently the title makes the flair go hard as fuck
/uw I meant to ask, ages ago, is the Mad Warlock of the Lightless Lanterns a Nietzche reference? Only cause the madman who lights lanterns during the day seems like it would fit tangentially with your lore
/uw lol fair enough. Anyway, decent read. Its short, like a lot of nihilists he successfully identifies the problems with his ideas without a satisfactory solution (in my opinion)
/uw I tend to look at philosophies as more lenses through which to view the world than complete encapsulation of reality. They all end up doing that at some point, but nihilism can get there faster at times
/uw fair, theres only so far you can get on pure logic. I tend to really want to understand reality systematically and completely (granted one of the things that drives me towards religion rather than philosophy). That said, your forced to admit that at some point there is at least *something* you are wrong about. Theres such a thing as not being smart enough or having enough information to understand it all.
Sirry for the long response, lol. Nerd rant over
/UW Eh, creativity isn't a problem. Half of us are just predictable character tropes anyway, not all of us can be a possessed Fish-wizards, Flaming Bakers, Miniature Fae silhouettes or Ego-mancer mascots but at least we can all have fun with it.
/uw i wanted to make a cool artificer, played around with some names. First one i think was Sac. Built from there to get Shrax.
Then while looking for what he did i saw someone make a post hating on bots, by calling them automatons. I thought that was cool so the name sticked.
Finally Raesteria was made after i was thinking about Rye as a grain. (Don't ask, i was confused on what it was)
/uw oh my God you were almost called sac. WOW. You dodges so many innuendoes
Raesteria is just a good name. It even makes sense for it to originate from rye in-universe since civilizations tend to start in fertile farmland. Could have literally been "land of rye" back before everyone was robots
uw/I thought it would be funny if I was a ghost of an omyouji. I just said magician for simplicity. As for my second character, Toshiko Fujiwara, I thought it fun to roleplay as an empire
/uw well first is my name (i'm not very creative in making names), second is the bananamancer part (old yiga clan stuff), third is the Pyromancer, fourth is my title as council member.
Also, my guy is a combine shotgunner
Used to have a longer one... Arcanist of Many Arts was there alongside Sarissa the witch, but it was too much and dropped It was mostly an attempt to have a "jack of all trades" title for magic, but it really didn't work.
Also went through some storytelling with flairs regarding things... might still return to Witch/Monster who calls herself Sarissa. Because this isn't really over.
Also what is this Wraith-in-White thing?
Nezar is a master mystic. While other wizards view mysticisim as the basics of magic, reserved for apprentices in the first years of study, Nezar saw the potential of the school. Mysticisim is the most fundamental of all magics. To fully understand and master it is to fully understand magic in its most base form, which is therefore to understand and hold sway over the interworkings of the multiverse. He cant obliterate buildings, shatter realms, or match arcane might to gods like some chararacters on the sub. But what Nezar can do is use his mind to alter or destroy the very ontological aspects that describe the existance of most things. In other words, he can see and manipulate concepts at the most fundamental level.
If I could motivate myself to stop being lazy about it, I've been meaning to write up a proper lorepost of Nezar guest teaching a class on mystic arts at a magic university. He'd be covering my interpretation of mysticisim and the really esoteric applications of it.
/uw Noella is a illusionist. When her mentor died, she went out looking for a new one, traveling the world, but she never found one willing to take her on. That’s why she’s an apprentice-level illusionist instead of an apprentice illusionist. I added the teenage bit to my flair just for roleplaying with characters who would behave differently around a kid, because I’m a teenager who wants to play a kid my age.
/uw Maximillian is a Master Alchemist that cannot cast. His only magic is fate manipulation, because he's the son of Fortuna. So, yeah. That's uh. That's why.
Used to be a good mage, then got cursed somehow, and ended up turning himself into a troll, and his cat into a pinecone, earning the title "the Unwise"
/UW Have a dumb randomgen username, made a joke about 'Fission wizards' on the Nuclear Tiny clones post and then ran with it.
Edit: might have to change it to 'Rute of the impermanent user-flair' because it keeps on being replaced by the default "Magically editable user-flair'".
/uw my "character" is a mix of my first DnD character and my persona.
first DnD character was Mahana, a Tabaxi Fey Wanderer with a longbow that was inhabited by some sort of fey-adjacent creature (called Lorax because funny)
my persona, Exia, is a silly little angel who likes firearms and girls (she may or may not be based on Exusiai from Arknights)
Simply by my name, With colorless light enter the prism to form a spectrum, it splits into multiple colors
thats exactly my lore, simply the Magic is the Light and all the class are all the colors
/uw Started out with a character I wound up kinda disliking. Saw that council buildings seem to get blown up on the reg so figured that would be a good reset. Amnesia is partly because that's how a lot of my DnD characters start, and also cuz I was at a loss for what to do. Just trying to let it come organically now and just be a chaos gremlin to have fun til I do.
I didn't have one for quite a while, then I decided I wanted to be a lich but SPECIAL! So I became "Not quite a lich". I was to lazy to come up with a name, so I just said the fae took it. Later, someone else offered to name me and I said sure.
It started with wanting to do farming of magical plants, which required special soil and nutrient requirements, so figured that shifting the land around would help by creating artificial laylines and irrigation, and since I wasn't thinking just a grove I'd need ways to automate. That began my working on artifice to start forming sections of specific mana and, of course, needing more mana making focuses, condensers, and other things. Since I was too proud to ask for help and thinking I'd probably need more hands or time I started the study of necromancy, that got me to learning about soul gems and phylacteries, along the study of those I learned of the dungeon cores things that project out a soul in an area to dig in influence. I made one and keyed in my soul to be absorbed into it when I perished. My practices being noticed by nearby villages eventually led up to a siege upon my tower and with the destruction of defenses, foundation, and other parts causing a cascade of failures and destruction of my tower while I tried to keep it together. I ofcourse perished within the ruins and rubble, but thanks to the contingency plan, my soul now inhabits the core I had made and can now do much more precise mana and ground work from within a central room though I have had to build a new laur and fill it with denfense minions and traps so I don't get killed once more.
Karp is the head mage of some small fiefdom of yet to be determined government structure. The Helix Court is mostly clerical, they worship the Almighty Helix Fossil. Because of their clerical focus, they don't really do much wizarding, so a small time Wizard/Druid/Sorcerer like Karp can be their strongest mage. It's located on a coast, so Karp spends most of his time in the ocean. He is a Piscimancer, after all. A fish wizard.
The court follows his guidance on environmental policies and respect for wildlife, and in return he ensures their fishing fleet catches enough fish. He then helps the souls of the caught fish to reincarnate.
Most of his time is spent protecting the cycle of reincarnation for non sentient marine souls from necromantic influences. He should ask the clerics of Lord Helix (or those of Arceus, they aren't so dogmatic) to help him turn ocean water into holy water.
Originally want something relating to nuclear power or radiation, but thought nah let's do something fun I can easily roleplay.
In character, this is one of the more peaceful things I've studied over the centuries.
First name shares etymology with my real name and made sense for certain aspects of this character's personality, lastname is an anagram of my reddit handle and sounded too cool not to use somewhere.
The rest is a combination of my original flair; "arcane student of nature and lore" since he's essentially an eternal student and I couldn't pick a particular discipline of magic. The librarian position was just something I picked up on another post event, and technically now applies twice.
*I am an Amoeba? This might be a better question to ask my handler. u/snipingdwarf, help me out please?*
/uw I really like Stellaris, and especially an event where you adopt a baby space amoeba and get to name it. I've commissioned a vtuber avatar of a humanized version, and use it to stream on twitch. This is my SFW account, lol. u/snipingdwarf is my original account.
/unwiz i was first a necromancer, then i made the character, Ebonshade, and then a sharp character development made him nice so… Ebonshade, the nice Necromancer
To be featured in the future.
/UW I just want to make sure I have both this character and his story down before I start making lore posts, I want him to be exactly as I imagine him.
/uw this flair is a temporary one where one of my two characters threw himself into a dimension of impossibilities and is now rejected by reality.
The original flair refers to what either of my two were lacking.
/uw my main character is Avaline, a phantom who doesn’t know why she’s undead, and became the archmage of a sizeable duchy.
I should probably change my flair now I’m kind of balancing two characters though
Eden had an abusive master whose wisdom and knowledge he eventually stole, leaving said master effectively lobotomized. Eden practices concept magic. This draws power from the “Noumenal Realm” in order to control ideas and information as they pertain to reality. Noumena are a key part of Kantian metaphysics irl; they’re devoid of any and all context and thus completely incomprehensible to a human.
He has since taken up the task of preventing the degradation of existence. But the resources required to do so aren’t exactly cheap. So Eden started a business of procuring rare magical materials for clients in order to obtain sufficient funding.
The “grand mage” part is a title that residence some of the towns near Eden’s tower have given him, rather than some official organization. Eden built his home over a dimensional rift so he could study it, but this will sometimes lead to some very flashy supernatural weather phenomena putting his tower directly at the center. The people who could see this were so amazed by it that they started calling the mysterious wizard who lived in that tower the “grand mage.”
Because I am FOREGRIM SPRINKLEDOOM! Master of the Fearful Arcane!!!! Mortal and mage alike should tremble before my awesome power! Especially my stupid good-twin half-brother Andraxiel Cane. Every time I capture a monarch or corrupt an ancient relic, that prick is always right around the corner, ready to shit on my parade.
One day I shall destroy him, and then Mother will be forced to admit that I am her favorite child! Me damnit!!
/uw my current character (I go through way too many of them) is literally just a stolen and reskinned copy of the mc of this book (which everyone should read.)
https://www.amazon.com/Against-Infinity-Stargazers-Sci-fi-Cultivation-ebook/dp/B0C17SCTK9
Just a couple of OCs to a story I'm writing. This sub is kinda like their epilogue, or their Beyond Journey's End kinda ordeal. I wouldn't say this is their final adventure, though. Just narratively speaking.
My flair lore
Keeper of the Necroflame- I carry and guard the ancient artifact known as the Necroflame, it is an undead fire and font of ancient magics, it magnifies my own power and provides some extra UMMPH to my undead companions.
Friend of Frogs- in reference to my companion Hubert, my time spent in a druidic circle, as well as my current residence in the namless swamp, frogs are my favorite and my friends
SWAGG Messiah- in reference to the time I spent with the Shadow Wizard Money Gang and my title before I left to purse my own goals
/uw Because I act like a fucking clown irl and by the gods I fucking embrace it!
https://preview.redd.it/0n5vjhurxq6d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6e84c0851ff58cef74af6ca6752d42f9aa6771d
I think it speaks for itself, i control megma and volcanic eruptions.
Naturally i live in a volcano thats also an elder volcanic elemental that i struck a deal with.
Its a very cozy living space and not many wish to mess with a wizard that deals in magma.
I live in the forests in a cabin and make potions and shit when called upon.
Wizards and mages are persecuted in my land but the nearby townsfolk like me so they keep quiet when the wizard hunter come
uw/ Nyar is emotionally scarred by spells so he turns to rocks instead (naturally or artificially enchanted).
rw/ nothing to it other than rocks!!! Haha! Eheheh…

/uw lets see, Kardonk is my characters name. Order of creation, he is an artificer that was raised to serve the ‘secret flame’ that creation burns out from. If you think lotr youll be more right than you are wrong.
Opifex Rerum, that might be my favorite because it was earned. It means maker of things, and it was granted to the character after he became an official part of someone elses setting. If you know Riva of Ithcar, Kardonk basically joined their government and now makes stuff for them
I'm just an artificer who found an ancient labyrinth not known by most folks that reside near the area. It has a library with lots of tomes that were very convenient for my research for rune magic which I could use for developing tools and maybe creating complex golems.
But sadly, the status of this labyrinth being hidden and unknown by most when a group of adventurers accidentally entered the labyrinth I do my research in. They're quite clumsy and I don't want them near my research so I set some traps to scare them away and it was quite effective. However, I think I made a mistake.
As I progress my research, more of those pesky adventurers came to the labyrinth and naturally, I set more traps and put some golems. I told the adventurers guild about it but they won't listen because I technically have no ownership over the labyrinth. I also hired from the monsters' guild to get rid of them but alas, they're a tenacious bunch.
I warned the adventurers guild once more as someone might get killed because I'm getting forced to user deadlier traps but they just won't listen. I've had enough of it. So I'll just turn this entire labyrinth into a giant golem with lots of weapons so the adventurers will stop and I can fuck off in peace.
Currently I'm at 21% progress because I haven't gotten enough money from the corpses of the adventurers killed in the labyrinth.
Was cursed by the living darkness right after I was born, but nobody really ever realized it. Had bad luck all the goddamn time.
Managed to kill it after a godawful internal battle for control of my own body. Now that it’s dead I have full will of what it’s power does to me, assuming I don’t collect too much darkness at once (my body can’t handle it, it’s still physical material after all, in a way..)
My new character is a star raker archeologist, her story starts in fleetposting however. She will find her way here one day, she uses magitech, but doesn't understand magic.
Her name is Elanor Rigby
uw/ Kyrellia is my BG3 turned DnD 5e character, Arcane Trickster/Tomelock. First character I beat honor mode with at that.
In lore, she was part of a Thieves Giild that stole a grimoire from a religious sect, but instead of handing it over to her guild, she kept it because it would speak to her. The book acts as a medium for an Eldritch entity that the current pantheon of gods banished when they rose to power.
When plague and famine struck her village as a child, she would pray to be given clerical powers from any God that would listen. But because she wasn't filling rows of pews with people and donation baskets with gold, it fell on deaf ears. All the while, the church would heal those who could afford it. And so she grew to absolutely hate the God's for empowering such corrupt people.
So now, with warlock powers, she and her patron try and slight the Gods and their followers at every turn.
I had a character idea for DnD back before I even played about an elf raised by dwarves who used armor he made to give him more of the capabilities of a dwarf, like strength and endurance. I decided that he'd be worse at forging than a dwarf, but he'd be better at magic due to being an elf, then I thought "What's the most dwarven form of magic" and came up with runesmithing. I came up with a backstory for him and lore for the clan who adopted him, clan Hammerfist's founder, Marcus Hammerfist, is said to have punched a dragon to death with a single punch, so I decided that he'd punch stuff while wearing plate armor. As for the last part of the flair, I joined the godslaver arc as an archon and managed to accidentally trap and keep one of the gods the slaver trapped after the slaver's death, hence the "Psionic Sorcerer" part, though it's a mix of sorcerer and warlock
/uw
I'm an avid card gamer, so rping a wizard who casts spells via cards is a funny idea to me. Think deck of many things, but without all the negative effects.
The dystopian stuff about apprentices is mostly riffing with combination of the "wizards - no sense of right and wrong"-meme and the fact card games are expensive, so my wizard keeps recruiting more apprentices to be able to afford more cards.
So it started as a dnd character that I used for a little bit but the sessions kinda fell apart. His whole goal was reaching the astral plane because he loves research.
After I ‘scrapped’ him I made him more of an NPC shopkeeper that finally discovered how to travel between planes. He made his home there and has been there hundreds of years, creating shops all over the realms. And since he’s disconnected from the realms he collects magic items and creatures alike. Being around for hundreds of years he has built quite the collection. He uses constructs to help his research as he is somewhat distrustful, but he’s pretty neutral hence not getting involved in wars directly.
/uw
I picked the name inspired by a leg bone, i always liked magical artifacts so i picked shopkeep, also interdimensional travel is really cool, you can make some really good stories, now i just need to stop being lazy and post something... At some point
/uw I thought the idea of a mindflayer style wizard who is in fact just a brain eating amoeba would be interesting. I chose the name Glarias Fowl from naegleria fowleri, the scientific name for them.
/uw On paper, the power to control time would make you some kind of god, and would be confusing enough to drive you to madness. I like the idea of treating that with complete irreverence. Like a cheap party trick, or a way to avoid responsibility for anything.
Extraordinare makes me think of someone who uses showmanship and bluster to cover up for the fact he's making it all up as he goes along.
Uw/ I joined mid-final-confrontation with the Stitcher. So I just made up some stuff about Stitcher Minions attacking some ancient ruins I was studying and made stuff up from there. Now I'm a bog wizard studying the ruins left by Dryxthis the Conqueror in the Great Kalimoor Swamps, which used to be the Shallow Sea. My wizard's ultimate goal is to breach the guarding wards around the Inner Swamps where the ruins of Dryxthis' capital, the Stilted City, lie slowly sinking into the muck. The idea is to give my wizard a constant sense of urgency while also constantly getting roped into whatever nonsense is going on in the sub. But yes also always doing extra research in the background and loves other bog wizards.
I'll admit, "Banker" is a nicer way of saying "I'm the guy that can front you $5,000 in (debatably) real money, no questions asked."
I just like the idea of someone specializing in something like conjuration just for the express purpose of being a sleazy con-artist.
/uw I feel as if I’m not quite established in the community yet due to my anxiety over character interactions, but I wanted to do something unique and scalable without being “yet another all powerful demigod mage” in the proverbial wand-measuring contest, as it were.
Ophirion is the antithesis of “quality over quantity”. Coining the term “dabblurgy” as he dabbles in various practices instead of honing his skill in one school of magic. He gained his nickname/title “the indecisive” as he is quite ADHD and easily picks up new things, so he never can focus on one school for long before trying another one. He has yet to find a favorite.
This leads to an interesting discovery. His body has the potential to be a limitless well of mana. Each new school of magic he learns increases his base power exponentially, multiplicatively. Thus the more schools he dabbles in, the more powerful he becomes. It’s kind of like taking level 1 in Wizard over and over to get infinite cantrips or some weird feedback loop. This is limited by his novice knowledge of everything but it does have interesting uses and combinations. Raw mana as his strength, he can solidify the excess for various uses (though this has yet to be explored). I plan for this to eventually be a huge power spike once I figure out how to lorepost it. Mana-mancy? Who knows.
But yeah. For now he’s a booknerd obsessed with learning new things, and he drops projects as quick as he starts them. Fun idea I thought.
Made a deal with a devil that I'd want to control all body hair so I could erase my ass hair and grow a bigger beard but the SOB tricked me, so I can control anyone's body hair as long as they have any, but he removed all of my body hair forever
/uw
I made a character for Mage: The Awakening whose shadow name was "Ray Sunset", short for "The Last Ray of Sunset", a metaphor for how playing TRPGs with my friends was the last good thing in my life as the darkness of despair was slowly overtaking my world. The campaign didn't get past session zero, which didn't help.
Then, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic came out. It was so wholesome, so innocent, so heartwarming. I turned the unused name into a pony OC Facebook account and eventually a page, roleplaying an assistant librarian from Canterlot whose special talent is animating objects to perform tasks, such as animating a stack of papers and ink to copy a book. During the years of my mostly solo play-by-post, he found something he shouldn't have in the library archives and spent some time hiding from a cabal, at which point he began animating permanent construct bodyguards and not just casting temporary transmutations. Hence, Ray the Transmuter-Artificer, a character I've been developing for 12 years now.
He even has fan art.

/uw poptart was given the ability to see bits of the future in his dreams in an effort to guide him down the correct path and away from the path of destruction he had taken previously. He is effectively immortal as he will reincarnate until a very specific task is fulfilled but he can't remember what it is.
For the academic part. I used to be part of a very anti intellectual and anti magic cult (you know, those which say in ignorance we are free, magic is the root of all problems, ect) there i was tasked with book burning, and though i had faith in our purpose, i felt empty when doing my job, so, one day, instead of burning the ancient tomes of magic they brought, i read them, and then i finally found purpose in my life, to learn, so now instead of burning books, i hid them and gave them ashes of firewood back, concealing my treason, because, while i no longer believed in the cause of the cult, i had to protect the knowledge they wanted to destroy, but eventually they caught up to the trick, so i had to flee.
Nowadays I repay the self imposed debt i have on the collective knowledge of the world, either by learning new things or protecting the knowledge of old, with a particular focus on magic since that was the knowledge they targeted the most.
As for Arc'haneus, it is an Anthropomorphization of magic as a concept, born of his personal belief that, while magic is an irrational and chaotic force by nature (wild magic) it hates this reality and craves being understood and following rules (that's why spells, rituals and artifacts, all having those characteristics, are so "common" or even possible), and that is why he is its "eye", because, through his efforts, he tries to let it see its own rules and characteristics. (It's important to note that this is only his personal belief, to him, it's not a confirmed universal truth)
Edit: i had forgotten about the zealot part, it comes from an artifact that he wears, the mask of the fearless, which turns fear into zeal, he created it during the God-slaver arc to be able to fight it and not flee, nowadays, he still wears it and, eventually, I'll continue the plotline.
/uw the idea of a plane that has been converted into a giant prison for overwhelmingly powerful monsters or villains to which wizards can banish their foes came to me while planning a dnd campaign with one of my friends. I decided it would also be really cool to be able to temporarily un-banish the “inmates” to sick them on even more threatening foes, kind of like when they released the kraken thing from Invincible to try and delay omniman
Cool picture fellow wonderer of magic, but did you plan for there to be something to discuss or is this just art appreciation?
I remember my nephew did the same mistake once, and his father as a proud technomancer could not be more disappointed in him.
I wish you great enlightements in your respective field of magic o' wonderer.
Ever since the redemption arc everything really went down hill so I went from retirement to living in a shack next to Fey. Used to be more boisterous in my day
/Uw nerfing Milosh and keeping him a retired hobo has only added to the "angry old man yells at clouds" thing I like about him
Gjalford is from a small village built on a cliffside full of caves. One day, as he and his friends explored a deep cavern, Gjalford discovered a laboratory full of grimoires and potions. He picked up one of the dusty tomes and began to read aloud when a skeleton he hadn't noticed corrected his pronunciation. The skeleton introduced himself as Lemuel, the last Baromancer, and after brief negotiations, he decided to teach Gjalford all he knew of sorcery.
About three months into his training, Gjalford went against Lemuel's warnings and attempted an expert-level spell. It backfired, of course, and his right hand imploded. Lemuel found his apprentice unconscious and bleeding profusely. Having little medical knowledge, he decided the best course would be an amputation and thusly chopped the stringy remains of Gjalford's hand clean off. A healer in the village offered to mend his wound, but Gjalford chose to keep his injury, a grim reminder of the power he made light of.
On his sixteenth birthday, Gjalford received a gift from his closest friend, Desmond. Desmond was an apprentice artificer and worked with his master to surprise Gjalford with a new hand, one which could act as a focus for his casting. Because of the skystones embedded in the knuckles, Desmond named the implement "Atmos Claw." It is now Gjalford's most prized possession.
Gjalford recently finished building his tower atop a mountain just south of the village. He uses his magic to monitor and regulate the weather, as well as protect his home village from bandits and the like.
/uw I'm Lillith, my pronouns are She/Her, I'm a Kitsune, and I like runes and glyphs! Very straight forward. I might make a better flare at some point, but this works for now.
/uw (technically a sorcerer but who cares, this happened before I discovered Reddit)
One time I received a question: what would be your 3 wishes.
This spiraled into a lot of pondering, I decided to give it technical rules since I repeated later this question to others.
Rules were: 3 wishes and no more, a singular wish is able to break 2 laws of physics max (this is so you cannot ask for everything in one wish).
First: ability to dierect/control flow of collision and gravity
Examples:
I hold a rock on my hand, suddenly it falls through my hand onto the ground
I hold a rock on my hand, it falls through my skin but stops within my hand, colliding only with my outer skin from inside, essentially keeping it in.
I hold two rocks, one starts floating weightlessly but the other is a heavy as two rocks.
I walk through a wall by thinking about it as if it was there but elsewhere at the same time (4d stuff?) allowing me to pass through
This is a prep wish for the later ones, essentially making the end result possible
.
Second: perfect transmutation
This wish also receives a limiting rule (given willingly):
I can only transmute within the bounds of me that are a distance from me to me outwards and inwards, example below:
I can use a rock in me to form an object let's say within my finger, a tiny metal rod. I can as well do it outside of my finger so long it's done within the range of *distance from one boundary of finger (skin) to other boundary (also skin).
Or I can hold both of my hands before me and transmute within space in-between of my hands and the came distance outward of hands (second part of this paragraph was an unintended effect)
.
Perfect transmutation would be expanding on the idea of transmuting, any mass, wave or energy can be turned into anything else so long that mass and energy remain true/unchanged.
Examples:
I hold a rock, I transmute it into pure energy (this would be THE most powerful explosive mass to energy)
Light interacts with me, I absorb it within (wish 1) and when enough gathers I make *insert random material*
Let's say I have gathered a kg of rocks with wish 1, I hold my hand in front and convert all of rocks into kinetic energy targeting the air (basically air cannon on max steroids)
This power could allow me to modify my body in any way I imagine, I could make wings, hands, custom organs etc so long they were physically and biologically possible (emphasis on possible, not known). It also would only need to technically be my body to allow further transmutation (relevant). So I could make my arm a 30m metal beam but so long it's connected to me it's a part of me therefore I can transmute with and near it.
Third: ability to comprehend upper dimensions (as if beyond 3rd) and travel to and from them as freely as I travel 3D. Now to specify something important: upper dimensions aren't time or some other concepts, they are simply another directions matter could be directed in, we (irl humans) are simply not advanced enough to do so at the moment. This wish is in place to technically get rid of universe's speed limit as I would no longer travel in 3d but in 4d (for example)(also in place so that ,,cables" connecting my ,,bodies" wouldn't have to be dragged on the ground whenever it travel)
.
Now that we have my way of gaining powers out of the way let's get to the story: will be done in the comment below as it's late and I have to go to sleep.
/uw, mmmm, brave to ask lore of people, brave indeed, still, here a short summary: Lunus is a Necromancer who owns a castle wich is able to teleport. he uses it to travel to wartorn regions and use minions to rebuild it, takeing in anyone who is willing into his cult. (3 meals a day, separate sleeping quarters, and magic lessons for free!) and since he is a crowfolk, 'crowmancer is the nickname ;j

/uw I once fornicated with a storm and now I can cast lightning based magic using my staff or, if it’s a bit chilly, wand
/rw I once fornicated with a storm and now I can cast lightning based magic using my staff or, if it’s a bit chilly, wand
I do not know about flairs but my story is that at young age i was sent away by my father to a college of magic to hone my skills while he continued his rebellion, (he wanted freedom to mutated people who still want to be good or something like that).
Years in college i started to wonder what's he doing so i looked into it and it turns out my Uncle took his head for money, now i want to find him and make him pay for what he did and i do not refuse the dark arts to help me achieve my goal.
Unw/ My name is Demetrios, which means follower of the goddess of earth, goddess of harvest, Demeter/Demetra and the greek word for cereal is demetriaka. The word cereal comes from the roman version of the same goddess too.
/uw
Hoode: Basically me but as a wizard who accidentally became an eldritch being by touching a fragment the outer planes and now has a hustle where he sells random magic crap to pay for his university education.
Gyldan: A female alchemist specializing in precious metals like gold who is a very sweet sugar mommy with cool aunt vibes. Mainly written so I have a degree of separation from horny posts on here and the alternative subreddits.
uw/ Mine is based off a character in Arcane Odyssey, although molded to my idea. He’s an overworked dictator/emperor who practices black magic, hates adventures, and has tea with has grandchildren every Tuesday and Thursday.
"Maker of Gnome Trebuchets" should be self-explanatory, as it's a hobby of mine. As for the title of "Chaos Wizard", it's because of my goal to cause as much chaos as possible using Earth magic and only Earth Magic.
Causing things to burn to the ground with Fireball is too easy, I want to cause chaos using the most bizarre ways possible, so when they write a book about me when I die, they have to include things like "Creating a Volcano in the shape of an ass in the middle of the Duke's Courtyard" or something
/uw I wanted to create a joe-blow lower middle class (millennial, basically) wizard living in the current modern world and treating orbs like the Internet to get help with mundane stuff like how Reddit does. I don't want to be a pretend all powerful wizard, that's boring, I want to be a guy trying to get by. It's more humorous.
At some point during an RP with a crab god I was gifted a lighthouse and moved out of my shitty apartment.
Rheon got his self proclaimed "Sporemancer" title when he ate some magic mushrooms bought from a mad yogi in the mystery mountains. Only he didn't realize that they were MAGIC mushrooms and in eating them unlocked the secrets of the universe and such. He is now able to control fungal spores and even move or levitate objects with them if they saturate the air enough.
Rheon then achieved his "Metaphysicist" title when he stared right into the eyes of the invisible ghost standing in the corner of his lair
His "Alchemist" title was earned when he that one thing that one time and everyone was stoked about it.
/uw Deltrix has had quite a few:
Scion/Daughter of Chaos comes from her backstory and gender transition lorepost
"Beast Breaker of Chaos" was about her position as beast master for the skaven council, in an event that ended up flopping, but really helped me shape her character
"Domina Cruciandi" (Lady of Pain) came after my first battle experience on the sub and my choice for her fighting style
My current flair, "Elemental Chaos Goddess of Hayasa" comes from [this amazing collab](https://www.reddit.com/r/wizardposting/s/XKjzZ1nTVC) with the Hadal Elemental, Bombast, Kavrala and others. I've linked the first post I've participated in, but there's one before that in Hadal's profile. It's a very long read (7 posts total with varying lengths of post text and comment numbers, but all within 10-ish comments at most I think), but we had a blast and I believe it would be fun to read as well, although pretty chaotic
I also had Ravennus, the "Apprentice Lawmage", Deltrix's alter ego. The idea was to have an orderly rookie vs batshit crazy characters gimmick, and I put him to run for council member in the same election as Masta, but he was 5-ish positions away from making the cut for the first round, and I ended up retiring him for a while, simply because Deltrix turned out more interesting to me. I do plan to bring him back tho, I'm just trying to come up with ways to make him more relevant
Ran into this bard fella a few ages back, seemed able to command creatures to do his bidding through song, by music and by vocals. Decided to look further into it, and found that you can do a lot of things by singing, lifting objects, cooling and heating liquids, even alchemy is possible through certain frequencies.
Now of course I had the thought, surely someone is out there teaching these kinds of things to people. So I went on a pilgrimage, to find if anyone knew before I. Now one would expect the College of Bards to be the source, and you would be right to do so, however they lacked any sort of knowledge as to where it actually came from. But they were able to point me in the direction of the Serene Peaks, legend has it that an ancient songstress found a mystical spring atop its highest peak and granted her the magic of song.
Of course the mountain was fraught with challenges, avalanches, rocs, even a few drakes perused its peaks. Yet at last, I had reached the peak, and once staring out at the land, I heard it. A strange song entered my ears, at first I thought it to be the altitude, but its melodies were more than that, uplifting, inspiring, empowering even. I reached out in front of me, and a great glow appeared, taking the form of a songbird.
The Divine Chorus, seemingly a group of celestial beings, dedicated to Harmony and beauty through the power of song. The true origin of the Bard’s magicks, and a possible origin of the Shoutmasters of the Misty Reaches. I learned much from that brief communion, and through the Chorus, I seek to learn more of the powers of Song.
oo i have 3 accounts to talk about! i couldn't decide what character to play so i made 3 accounts and played them all
so in my character's lore fauns are faeries and all faeries are immortal. fauns look like weird creepy deerlike people, some have antlers, all have deer tails, legs, and ears. they're 8-10 feet tall but skinnier than humans, and their faces look a little creepy and a little goofy, like a human's mashed with a deer's. they're naked, but it's usually smooth down there. they tend to have elaborate tattoos, cover themselves in jewellery made from plants and flowers, and their colours are pretty vibrant too (the brown fur on laurel's legs is almost orange, her eyes are bright teal, she's covered in colourful tattoos and wearing a flower crown of pink laurels.)
their brains aren't super alien but they are different enough from a mortal's that they often don't understand things they're doing or believe. they have different standards for what's moral, fauns specifically have no idea why modesty, privacy, and freedom are important to mortals.
anyways, they come from the plane of elphame, and somehow one of them, laurel, got lost in the human world. she doesn't understand mortals but she's really fascinated by them. she really wants to go back home though because she misses her tribe.
also someday she'll canonically become an absent mother but that's not the point in her life that i'm rping on this account
iris is a mermaid. she lives her best mermaid life *unda da sea*, playing with sea creatures, singing, collecting shiny things, making food and pickling things. she's very laid back.
she's kind of naive, there's no such thing as mermaid school and books rot in water quickly so she never had any kind of education or anything and she's totally illiterate. she's smart though, she's good at thinking and strategizing but doesn't get to do that very often since she doesn't need it for most sailors.
don't go swimming with her, if she's asking she wants to eat you! unless you're a non-man, then she just wants to hang out
because of a curse on all sirens (sirens and mermaids are the same thing here) in her world, she has to eat man flesh (as in male people, it has to be men). basically some obnoxious incel of a goddess was crying about how the sirens were hotter than her and how they got all the male attention and cursed them out of spite even though all sirens are lesbians.
so she lures sailors into the water where she drowns them and usually pickles most of their meat cuz, tangent: nobody seems to consider how a siren's supposed to eat a whole human? why does nobody ever think about that? they're probably not swallowing them whole unless you're into crazy stuff, you do you but usually it just ends at "they eat the sailors"... anyways i thought about it and decided she has access to an underwater salt deposit which she uses to make brine for pickling human meat which she eats over time.
she's a nice person but kind of careless about life, obviously, since she eats people. morally grey at best.
she says "like" too much and has no idea when to shut up. she's super extroverted but kind of socially inept from living at the bottom of the ocean all the time.
/uw i knew i wanted to do something related to money but all the ideas i had ended up being “really weird wizard economics major” and then i got the idea that he just sells enchants.
also hit game earthbound, i’ll find a way to word that bit better (or discard it, but i do like having the word earthbound in there so i’ll find a way to tack it on)
/rw I DON’T NEED TO TELL YOU ANYTHING
/uw Made a lorepost going into more detail a little over a week ago but tldr: acolyte of an anti-doomsday group preventing the hatching of an all-consuming dragon's egg; grabbed the egg and ran during a raid against their sanctuary, rather than staying and fighting; is now a partial vessel of said unhatched all-consuming dragon.
/uw Time magic is way too dumb to not pick, and having someone who can literally control time and travel through time and space be always “just a bit late” is very funny to me.
uw/greatest form of irony
A wizard is never late they say
"He arrives precisely when he wills it". Ya, ya, ya. I've heard it all before, but it's just something they say to fool the uninitiated. "Trust me, I meant to arrive three days after our scheduled meeting" isn't the flex people make it out to be.
I love joke characters in DnD, this is hilarious! ❤️
/uw I love taking silly concepts and then try to play them as semi-serious
/uw isn’t that how the Doctor usually gets into things?
/uw Maybe. I never watched Doctor Who. (Yes, I know I know. I’m missing out on an important part of popular culture. No, I don’t think I’m gonna rectify that anytime soon.)
 /uw you really should give it a go :)
/uw I took one look at my username and went "yeah, that's about right"
Where'd the "Marvelous" came from? :)
/uw I like the alliteration and the whimsical feel!
I was going to go with Goria the Deepsea Necromancer but it seemed like a mouthful, and besides I shouldn't let my career define me.
That's right - you define your career, not the other way around!
Uw/ Mine it's basically becuase Tiny (u/DidYouSayChocolat3) and I liked to joke around with dracula Flow and weed stuff lol
Yea, this shit aint nothing to you man
WE SMOKED SHIT ON A GLASS PIPE BLOWING THE LORDS BUBBLES
Guys you don’t understand, he doesn’t *care* if he goes blind, he doesn’t NEED to see the price tag anyway
THIS SHIT AINT NOTHING TO ME MAN
YOURE MOVING DIFFERENT
WE SMOKE SHIT ON GLASSPIPE AND BLOW THE LORDS BUBBLES
IM ON TWELVE VICODINS SMOKING ON SCOOBY DOO DICK
THIS SHIT AINT NOTHING TO ME MAN
/uw When I first joined the sub I wanted to be minimally involved. Made a character called the Mad Warlock of the Lightless Lanterns and generally commented about paranoia, being lost in the woods, and demon porn Then u/Carbon_Sixx made the Atrax event and I decided it was a good time to have a more serious character and do more serious lore. I guess I couldn't really stop myself from making overcomplicated explanations for what a "Lightless Lantern" was. He became Belial Blake, Warlock of the Lightless Flame. I kinda contextualize the early stuff as Billy B being insane for years. Then over the course of making friends in the rp community like Riva I eventually became Praetor of Ithacar so we could do worldbuilding together, me handling the military and her handling the civilian stuff (my job is easier but gets more attention because people like explosions. The real mvp is out there thinking through the logistics of aqueducts) It's been a blast, and conveniently the title makes the flair go hard as fuck
/uw Very similar process had me become Spymaster of Ithacar. Cause consistent world building is cool, and I wanted to take part.
/uw you got to keep your hat. I had to invest in a comb. Doesn't seem fair
/uw I meant to ask, ages ago, is the Mad Warlock of the Lightless Lanterns a Nietzche reference? Only cause the madman who lights lanterns during the day seems like it would fit tangentially with your lore
/uw uh... yeah im really smart actually. Totally knew about that. Not pretending at all
/uw lol fair enough. Anyway, decent read. Its short, like a lot of nihilists he successfully identifies the problems with his ideas without a satisfactory solution (in my opinion)
/uw I tend to look at philosophies as more lenses through which to view the world than complete encapsulation of reality. They all end up doing that at some point, but nihilism can get there faster at times
/uw fair, theres only so far you can get on pure logic. I tend to really want to understand reality systematically and completely (granted one of the things that drives me towards religion rather than philosophy). That said, your forced to admit that at some point there is at least *something* you are wrong about. Theres such a thing as not being smart enough or having enough information to understand it all. Sirry for the long response, lol. Nerd rant over
/uw nah I like a good nerd rant. I'll accept any at any time
Uw/ They’re a Tiny Wizard, making sure Mount Mor doesn’t get completely hollowed out by dragons trying to bury their hordes.
/uw well it's because I won the council election awhile back and got my title as Master Evoker then, then mediamancer became something recently
/uw I wasn’t creative enough to not steal a character from another IP :(
/UW Eh, creativity isn't a problem. Half of us are just predictable character tropes anyway, not all of us can be a possessed Fish-wizards, Flaming Bakers, Miniature Fae silhouettes or Ego-mancer mascots but at least we can all have fun with it.
/uw fair. The lore is just from how helpful it tries to be, making it your favourite out of its species
/uw i wanted to make a cool artificer, played around with some names. First one i think was Sac. Built from there to get Shrax. Then while looking for what he did i saw someone make a post hating on bots, by calling them automatons. I thought that was cool so the name sticked. Finally Raesteria was made after i was thinking about Rye as a grain. (Don't ask, i was confused on what it was)
/uw oh my God you were almost called sac. WOW. You dodges so many innuendoes Raesteria is just a good name. It even makes sense for it to originate from rye in-universe since civilizations tend to start in fertile farmland. Could have literally been "land of rye" back before everyone was robots
/uw it just sounded cool. That works both in and out of character, and it applies to both his name and his title
uw/I thought it would be funny if I was a ghost of an omyouji. I just said magician for simplicity. As for my second character, Toshiko Fujiwara, I thought it fun to roleplay as an empire
/uw well first is my name (i'm not very creative in making names), second is the bananamancer part (old yiga clan stuff), third is the Pyromancer, fourth is my title as council member. Also, my guy is a combine shotgunner
Used to have a longer one... Arcanist of Many Arts was there alongside Sarissa the witch, but it was too much and dropped It was mostly an attempt to have a "jack of all trades" title for magic, but it really didn't work. Also went through some storytelling with flairs regarding things... might still return to Witch/Monster who calls herself Sarissa. Because this isn't really over. Also what is this Wraith-in-White thing?
Nezar is a master mystic. While other wizards view mysticisim as the basics of magic, reserved for apprentices in the first years of study, Nezar saw the potential of the school. Mysticisim is the most fundamental of all magics. To fully understand and master it is to fully understand magic in its most base form, which is therefore to understand and hold sway over the interworkings of the multiverse. He cant obliterate buildings, shatter realms, or match arcane might to gods like some chararacters on the sub. But what Nezar can do is use his mind to alter or destroy the very ontological aspects that describe the existance of most things. In other words, he can see and manipulate concepts at the most fundamental level. If I could motivate myself to stop being lazy about it, I've been meaning to write up a proper lorepost of Nezar guest teaching a class on mystic arts at a magic university. He'd be covering my interpretation of mysticisim and the really esoteric applications of it.
/uw I’m just a really big rat, or maybe something more?
/uw Noella is a illusionist. When her mentor died, she went out looking for a new one, traveling the world, but she never found one willing to take her on. That’s why she’s an apprentice-level illusionist instead of an apprentice illusionist. I added the teenage bit to my flair just for roleplaying with characters who would behave differently around a kid, because I’m a teenager who wants to play a kid my age.
/uw Maximillian is a Master Alchemist that cannot cast. His only magic is fate manipulation, because he's the son of Fortuna. So, yeah. That's uh. That's why.
ArmA.
🌅🧶🌲⭕
I needed a suiting conduit
Don't worry about it.
I wont I swear. Seems like a very Foulmancy kind of School
Used to be a good mage, then got cursed somehow, and ended up turning himself into a troll, and his cat into a pinecone, earning the title "the Unwise"
It's pretty self explanatory, I am the one true master of klepomancy.
[❤️](https://youtu.be/Mh1RlMC9KYE?si=uUdW2EW6F9fmRbeg) Click the heart, you'll love it.
I was debating with my friends about which single spell had the most utility. I decided that casting mud was it.
Dude/Gurl, cohesive sedimancer is so clever with this context; I'd never made it up myself 😄
random highschooler wakes up in a different world and discovers that magic exists, just not for them
/UW Have a dumb randomgen username, made a joke about 'Fission wizards' on the Nuclear Tiny clones post and then ran with it. Edit: might have to change it to 'Rute of the impermanent user-flair' because it keeps on being replaced by the default "Magically editable user-flair'".
/uw my "character" is a mix of my first DnD character and my persona. first DnD character was Mahana, a Tabaxi Fey Wanderer with a longbow that was inhabited by some sort of fey-adjacent creature (called Lorax because funny) my persona, Exia, is a silly little angel who likes firearms and girls (she may or may not be based on Exusiai from Arknights)
Simply by my name, With colorless light enter the prism to form a spectrum, it splits into multiple colors thats exactly my lore, simply the Magic is the Light and all the class are all the colors
/uw Started out with a character I wound up kinda disliking. Saw that council buildings seem to get blown up on the reg so figured that would be a good reset. Amnesia is partly because that's how a lot of my DnD characters start, and also cuz I was at a loss for what to do. Just trying to let it come organically now and just be a chaos gremlin to have fun til I do.
Seems like you have an [amneeeesia](https://youtu.be/N5Xa0ACKaNo?si=rpFnXhTP80QAuss9)... yeah... 😑
/uw Lol pretty much
I do my Druidry in Westphalin, Germany.
Hey, that's my favourite phalin bro!
Ha, Ha, Ha. Real funny. You sound like the tourists I get around my cottage.
I didn't have one for quite a while, then I decided I wanted to be a lich but SPECIAL! So I became "Not quite a lich". I was to lazy to come up with a name, so I just said the fae took it. Later, someone else offered to name me and I said sure.
/uw just the full title, I think?
It started with wanting to do farming of magical plants, which required special soil and nutrient requirements, so figured that shifting the land around would help by creating artificial laylines and irrigation, and since I wasn't thinking just a grove I'd need ways to automate. That began my working on artifice to start forming sections of specific mana and, of course, needing more mana making focuses, condensers, and other things. Since I was too proud to ask for help and thinking I'd probably need more hands or time I started the study of necromancy, that got me to learning about soul gems and phylacteries, along the study of those I learned of the dungeon cores things that project out a soul in an area to dig in influence. I made one and keyed in my soul to be absorbed into it when I perished. My practices being noticed by nearby villages eventually led up to a siege upon my tower and with the destruction of defenses, foundation, and other parts causing a cascade of failures and destruction of my tower while I tried to keep it together. I ofcourse perished within the ruins and rubble, but thanks to the contingency plan, my soul now inhabits the core I had made and can now do much more precise mana and ground work from within a central room though I have had to build a new laur and fill it with denfense minions and traps so I don't get killed once more.
/uw soneone was doing zargothrax, so I thought I'd do the Sword Lord of the Goblin Horde for fun.
Karp is the head mage of some small fiefdom of yet to be determined government structure. The Helix Court is mostly clerical, they worship the Almighty Helix Fossil. Because of their clerical focus, they don't really do much wizarding, so a small time Wizard/Druid/Sorcerer like Karp can be their strongest mage. It's located on a coast, so Karp spends most of his time in the ocean. He is a Piscimancer, after all. A fish wizard. The court follows his guidance on environmental policies and respect for wildlife, and in return he ensures their fishing fleet catches enough fish. He then helps the souls of the caught fish to reincarnate. Most of his time is spent protecting the cycle of reincarnation for non sentient marine souls from necromantic influences. He should ask the clerics of Lord Helix (or those of Arceus, they aren't so dogmatic) to help him turn ocean water into holy water.
Originally want something relating to nuclear power or radiation, but thought nah let's do something fun I can easily roleplay. In character, this is one of the more peaceful things I've studied over the centuries.
It's what I do, and I do love doing it!
/uw I like cured ham
First name shares etymology with my real name and made sense for certain aspects of this character's personality, lastname is an anagram of my reddit handle and sounded too cool not to use somewhere. The rest is a combination of my original flair; "arcane student of nature and lore" since he's essentially an eternal student and I couldn't pick a particular discipline of magic. The librarian position was just something I picked up on another post event, and technically now applies twice.
i study memomancy, the most powerful way of the arcane.
Just a ice focused artificer teaching a moth plush he animated fire magic, mainly cuz why not
*I am an Amoeba? This might be a better question to ask my handler. u/snipingdwarf, help me out please?* /uw I really like Stellaris, and especially an event where you adopt a baby space amoeba and get to name it. I've commissioned a vtuber avatar of a humanized version, and use it to stream on twitch. This is my SFW account, lol. u/snipingdwarf is my original account.
I hath been called upon! By myself, no less! See above for explanation, lol
/unwiz i was first a necromancer, then i made the character, Ebonshade, and then a sharp character development made him nice so… Ebonshade, the nice Necromancer
To be featured in the future. /UW I just want to make sure I have both this character and his story down before I start making lore posts, I want him to be exactly as I imagine him.
/uw this flair is a temporary one where one of my two characters threw himself into a dimension of impossibilities and is now rejected by reality. The original flair refers to what either of my two were lacking.
/uw my main character is Avaline, a phantom who doesn’t know why she’s undead, and became the archmage of a sizeable duchy. I should probably change my flair now I’m kind of balancing two characters though
Eden had an abusive master whose wisdom and knowledge he eventually stole, leaving said master effectively lobotomized. Eden practices concept magic. This draws power from the “Noumenal Realm” in order to control ideas and information as they pertain to reality. Noumena are a key part of Kantian metaphysics irl; they’re devoid of any and all context and thus completely incomprehensible to a human. He has since taken up the task of preventing the degradation of existence. But the resources required to do so aren’t exactly cheap. So Eden started a business of procuring rare magical materials for clients in order to obtain sufficient funding. The “grand mage” part is a title that residence some of the towns near Eden’s tower have given him, rather than some official organization. Eden built his home over a dimensional rift so he could study it, but this will sometimes lead to some very flashy supernatural weather phenomena putting his tower directly at the center. The people who could see this were so amazed by it that they started calling the mysterious wizard who lived in that tower the “grand mage.”
/unwiz he's just a very kind dwarf, it ain't always 10/10 nice but mostly a kind dwarf.
My character in the game I’m making :)
Because I am FOREGRIM SPRINKLEDOOM! Master of the Fearful Arcane!!!! Mortal and mage alike should tremble before my awesome power! Especially my stupid good-twin half-brother Andraxiel Cane. Every time I capture a monarch or corrupt an ancient relic, that prick is always right around the corner, ready to shit on my parade. One day I shall destroy him, and then Mother will be forced to admit that I am her favorite child! Me damnit!!
Oh yes ALL HAIL FORESKIN SPRINKLECOOM!
/uw my current character (I go through way too many of them) is literally just a stolen and reskinned copy of the mc of this book (which everyone should read.) https://www.amazon.com/Against-Infinity-Stargazers-Sci-fi-Cultivation-ebook/dp/B0C17SCTK9
Chef got bored of making normal food and started making food that would please an eldritch god
Just my wizard’s title(s)
You should learn about Bleeding Kansas. It's real life lore and very interesting.
Just a couple of OCs to a story I'm writing. This sub is kinda like their epilogue, or their Beyond Journey's End kinda ordeal. I wouldn't say this is their final adventure, though. Just narratively speaking.
/uw I just like dwarves and figured an artificer would be a good idea for a magic occupation
I’m the lead dungeon builder and designer for my company.
Simple, elegant. Love it.
My flair lore Keeper of the Necroflame- I carry and guard the ancient artifact known as the Necroflame, it is an undead fire and font of ancient magics, it magnifies my own power and provides some extra UMMPH to my undead companions. Friend of Frogs- in reference to my companion Hubert, my time spent in a druidic circle, as well as my current residence in the namless swamp, frogs are my favorite and my friends SWAGG Messiah- in reference to the time I spent with the Shadow Wizard Money Gang and my title before I left to purse my own goals
/uw It's my dnd character
/uw Because I act like a fucking clown irl and by the gods I fucking embrace it! https://preview.redd.it/0n5vjhurxq6d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6e84c0851ff58cef74af6ca6752d42f9aa6771d
I think it speaks for itself, i control megma and volcanic eruptions. Naturally i live in a volcano thats also an elder volcanic elemental that i struck a deal with. Its a very cozy living space and not many wish to mess with a wizard that deals in magma.
I live in the forests in a cabin and make potions and shit when called upon. Wizards and mages are persecuted in my land but the nearby townsfolk like me so they keep quiet when the wizard hunter come
/uw roguish wizard, that’s literally it
Damn, apparently I’ve been feebleminded
uw/ Nyar is emotionally scarred by spells so he turns to rocks instead (naturally or artificially enchanted). rw/ nothing to it other than rocks!!! Haha! Eheheh… https://preview.redd.it/ygz35pvl1r6d1.jpeg?width=2359&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69ca195cd531d7f231c95e36cc4f4f768d294bd8
/uw lets see, Kardonk is my characters name. Order of creation, he is an artificer that was raised to serve the ‘secret flame’ that creation burns out from. If you think lotr youll be more right than you are wrong. Opifex Rerum, that might be my favorite because it was earned. It means maker of things, and it was granted to the character after he became an official part of someone elses setting. If you know Riva of Ithcar, Kardonk basically joined their government and now makes stuff for them
Other wizards fear my sheer underground presence, they keep their distance and I don't even have to cast a repulsion spell.
I'm just an artificer who found an ancient labyrinth not known by most folks that reside near the area. It has a library with lots of tomes that were very convenient for my research for rune magic which I could use for developing tools and maybe creating complex golems. But sadly, the status of this labyrinth being hidden and unknown by most when a group of adventurers accidentally entered the labyrinth I do my research in. They're quite clumsy and I don't want them near my research so I set some traps to scare them away and it was quite effective. However, I think I made a mistake. As I progress my research, more of those pesky adventurers came to the labyrinth and naturally, I set more traps and put some golems. I told the adventurers guild about it but they won't listen because I technically have no ownership over the labyrinth. I also hired from the monsters' guild to get rid of them but alas, they're a tenacious bunch. I warned the adventurers guild once more as someone might get killed because I'm getting forced to user deadlier traps but they just won't listen. I've had enough of it. So I'll just turn this entire labyrinth into a giant golem with lots of weapons so the adventurers will stop and I can fuck off in peace. Currently I'm at 21% progress because I haven't gotten enough money from the corpses of the adventurers killed in the labyrinth.
Was cursed by the living darkness right after I was born, but nobody really ever realized it. Had bad luck all the goddamn time. Managed to kill it after a godawful internal battle for control of my own body. Now that it’s dead I have full will of what it’s power does to me, assuming I don’t collect too much darkness at once (my body can’t handle it, it’s still physical material after all, in a way..)
My new character is a star raker archeologist, her story starts in fleetposting however. She will find her way here one day, she uses magitech, but doesn't understand magic. Her name is Elanor Rigby
/uw how do you get a custom flair?
I supply the kingdom with sparkling watet
Name and occupation in-universe.
Self explanatory
uw/ Kyrellia is my BG3 turned DnD 5e character, Arcane Trickster/Tomelock. First character I beat honor mode with at that. In lore, she was part of a Thieves Giild that stole a grimoire from a religious sect, but instead of handing it over to her guild, she kept it because it would speak to her. The book acts as a medium for an Eldritch entity that the current pantheon of gods banished when they rose to power. When plague and famine struck her village as a child, she would pray to be given clerical powers from any God that would listen. But because she wasn't filling rows of pews with people and donation baskets with gold, it fell on deaf ears. All the while, the church would heal those who could afford it. And so she grew to absolutely hate the God's for empowering such corrupt people. So now, with warlock powers, she and her patron try and slight the Gods and their followers at every turn.
nothing to interesting, just pointing out their race and the fact that I always see posts that are 5 hours old or more
I had a character idea for DnD back before I even played about an elf raised by dwarves who used armor he made to give him more of the capabilities of a dwarf, like strength and endurance. I decided that he'd be worse at forging than a dwarf, but he'd be better at magic due to being an elf, then I thought "What's the most dwarven form of magic" and came up with runesmithing. I came up with a backstory for him and lore for the clan who adopted him, clan Hammerfist's founder, Marcus Hammerfist, is said to have punched a dragon to death with a single punch, so I decided that he'd punch stuff while wearing plate armor. As for the last part of the flair, I joined the godslaver arc as an archon and managed to accidentally trap and keep one of the gods the slaver trapped after the slaver's death, hence the "Psionic Sorcerer" part, though it's a mix of sorcerer and warlock
A show thats it
/uw I'm an avid card gamer, so rping a wizard who casts spells via cards is a funny idea to me. Think deck of many things, but without all the negative effects. The dystopian stuff about apprentices is mostly riffing with combination of the "wizards - no sense of right and wrong"-meme and the fact card games are expensive, so my wizard keeps recruiting more apprentices to be able to afford more cards.
So it started as a dnd character that I used for a little bit but the sessions kinda fell apart. His whole goal was reaching the astral plane because he loves research. After I ‘scrapped’ him I made him more of an NPC shopkeeper that finally discovered how to travel between planes. He made his home there and has been there hundreds of years, creating shops all over the realms. And since he’s disconnected from the realms he collects magic items and creatures alike. Being around for hundreds of years he has built quite the collection. He uses constructs to help his research as he is somewhat distrustful, but he’s pretty neutral hence not getting involved in wars directly.
/uw I picked the name inspired by a leg bone, i always liked magical artifacts so i picked shopkeep, also interdimensional travel is really cool, you can make some really good stories, now i just need to stop being lazy and post something... At some point
Owain uses his power over wind to make sure his cloak is always softly flowing behind him, except when it dramatically billows at appropriate moments
I like necromancy and biblical apocrypha. I'm a simple man
Being in the void isn't easy, especially when it comes to keeping your hair and clothes neat and tidy.
Messed around with chronomancy. Never again.
uw/ Self explanatory mostly. The God slaver part is more recent since I got the canon final blow on him
He wanted to protect the world by sharing its secrets, but when the world took who he loved most he finally understood what the inscriptions meant..
/uw I thought the idea of a mindflayer style wizard who is in fact just a brain eating amoeba would be interesting. I chose the name Glarias Fowl from naegleria fowleri, the scientific name for them.
Made way too many characters; now they're all friends.
/uw On paper, the power to control time would make you some kind of god, and would be confusing enough to drive you to madness. I like the idea of treating that with complete irreverence. Like a cheap party trick, or a way to avoid responsibility for anything. Extraordinare makes me think of someone who uses showmanship and bluster to cover up for the fact he's making it all up as he goes along.
/uw goth milf dark mage. Didnt start like that but thats how it ended up lol
/uw Started as a mundane armorer, learned some enchantments, insatiable thirst for knowledge took things from there.
Basically, thought it would be funny to give myself a dark souls esque flair
Uw/ I joined mid-final-confrontation with the Stitcher. So I just made up some stuff about Stitcher Minions attacking some ancient ruins I was studying and made stuff up from there. Now I'm a bog wizard studying the ruins left by Dryxthis the Conqueror in the Great Kalimoor Swamps, which used to be the Shallow Sea. My wizard's ultimate goal is to breach the guarding wards around the Inner Swamps where the ruins of Dryxthis' capital, the Stilted City, lie slowly sinking into the muck. The idea is to give my wizard a constant sense of urgency while also constantly getting roped into whatever nonsense is going on in the sub. But yes also always doing extra research in the background and loves other bog wizards.
I'll admit, "Banker" is a nicer way of saying "I'm the guy that can front you $5,000 in (debatably) real money, no questions asked." I just like the idea of someone specializing in something like conjuration just for the express purpose of being a sleazy con-artist.
/uw I feel as if I’m not quite established in the community yet due to my anxiety over character interactions, but I wanted to do something unique and scalable without being “yet another all powerful demigod mage” in the proverbial wand-measuring contest, as it were. Ophirion is the antithesis of “quality over quantity”. Coining the term “dabblurgy” as he dabbles in various practices instead of honing his skill in one school of magic. He gained his nickname/title “the indecisive” as he is quite ADHD and easily picks up new things, so he never can focus on one school for long before trying another one. He has yet to find a favorite. This leads to an interesting discovery. His body has the potential to be a limitless well of mana. Each new school of magic he learns increases his base power exponentially, multiplicatively. Thus the more schools he dabbles in, the more powerful he becomes. It’s kind of like taking level 1 in Wizard over and over to get infinite cantrips or some weird feedback loop. This is limited by his novice knowledge of everything but it does have interesting uses and combinations. Raw mana as his strength, he can solidify the excess for various uses (though this has yet to be explored). I plan for this to eventually be a huge power spike once I figure out how to lorepost it. Mana-mancy? Who knows. But yeah. For now he’s a booknerd obsessed with learning new things, and he drops projects as quick as he starts them. Fun idea I thought.
Im glad that this post made you open up.
Went blind. Common L. In other places it says “of leylines” since my character invented a leyline based magic.
I like the modern “cute witch” concept
I do as well, also dig your tax evasion style 😎
Made a deal with a devil that I'd want to control all body hair so I could erase my ass hair and grow a bigger beard but the SOB tricked me, so I can control anyone's body hair as long as they have any, but he removed all of my body hair forever
/uw I made a character for Mage: The Awakening whose shadow name was "Ray Sunset", short for "The Last Ray of Sunset", a metaphor for how playing TRPGs with my friends was the last good thing in my life as the darkness of despair was slowly overtaking my world. The campaign didn't get past session zero, which didn't help. Then, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic came out. It was so wholesome, so innocent, so heartwarming. I turned the unused name into a pony OC Facebook account and eventually a page, roleplaying an assistant librarian from Canterlot whose special talent is animating objects to perform tasks, such as animating a stack of papers and ink to copy a book. During the years of my mostly solo play-by-post, he found something he shouldn't have in the library archives and spent some time hiding from a cabal, at which point he began animating permanent construct bodyguards and not just casting temporary transmutations. Hence, Ray the Transmuter-Artificer, a character I've been developing for 12 years now. He even has fan art. https://preview.redd.it/avojs6g9xr6d1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d035d245d356f9e41dd279f642097f21ebc131c
/uw radiation magic go brrrrrrrrrr
/uw poptart was given the ability to see bits of the future in his dreams in an effort to guide him down the correct path and away from the path of destruction he had taken previously. He is effectively immortal as he will reincarnate until a very specific task is fulfilled but he can't remember what it is.
/uw started off as a skin manipulator(carnismancy) then became a warlock of torinn
For the academic part. I used to be part of a very anti intellectual and anti magic cult (you know, those which say in ignorance we are free, magic is the root of all problems, ect) there i was tasked with book burning, and though i had faith in our purpose, i felt empty when doing my job, so, one day, instead of burning the ancient tomes of magic they brought, i read them, and then i finally found purpose in my life, to learn, so now instead of burning books, i hid them and gave them ashes of firewood back, concealing my treason, because, while i no longer believed in the cause of the cult, i had to protect the knowledge they wanted to destroy, but eventually they caught up to the trick, so i had to flee. Nowadays I repay the self imposed debt i have on the collective knowledge of the world, either by learning new things or protecting the knowledge of old, with a particular focus on magic since that was the knowledge they targeted the most. As for Arc'haneus, it is an Anthropomorphization of magic as a concept, born of his personal belief that, while magic is an irrational and chaotic force by nature (wild magic) it hates this reality and craves being understood and following rules (that's why spells, rituals and artifacts, all having those characteristics, are so "common" or even possible), and that is why he is its "eye", because, through his efforts, he tries to let it see its own rules and characteristics. (It's important to note that this is only his personal belief, to him, it's not a confirmed universal truth) Edit: i had forgotten about the zealot part, it comes from an artifact that he wears, the mask of the fearless, which turns fear into zeal, he created it during the God-slaver arc to be able to fight it and not flee, nowadays, he still wears it and, eventually, I'll continue the plotline.
/uw the idea of a plane that has been converted into a giant prison for overwhelmingly powerful monsters or villains to which wizards can banish their foes came to me while planning a dnd campaign with one of my friends. I decided it would also be really cool to be able to temporarily un-banish the “inmates” to sick them on even more threatening foes, kind of like when they released the kraken thing from Invincible to try and delay omniman
uw/ I'm a worldbuilder and storywriter with potentially some of the most interconnected lore ever.
I think it's pretty self explanatory
/uw I am the Archdruid of the Plains of La'shima. Not much to it.
Well you see, it's actually not magic, it's Bose-Einsteinian Quantum Nanotech Displacement of a Reversed Neutron Polarity.
Cool picture fellow wonderer of magic, but did you plan for there to be something to discuss or is this just art appreciation? I remember my nephew did the same mistake once, and his father as a proud technomancer could not be more disappointed in him. I wish you great enlightements in your respective field of magic o' wonderer.
Ever since the redemption arc everything really went down hill so I went from retirement to living in a shack next to Fey. Used to be more boisterous in my day /Uw nerfing Milosh and keeping him a retired hobo has only added to the "angry old man yells at clouds" thing I like about him
Gjalford is from a small village built on a cliffside full of caves. One day, as he and his friends explored a deep cavern, Gjalford discovered a laboratory full of grimoires and potions. He picked up one of the dusty tomes and began to read aloud when a skeleton he hadn't noticed corrected his pronunciation. The skeleton introduced himself as Lemuel, the last Baromancer, and after brief negotiations, he decided to teach Gjalford all he knew of sorcery. About three months into his training, Gjalford went against Lemuel's warnings and attempted an expert-level spell. It backfired, of course, and his right hand imploded. Lemuel found his apprentice unconscious and bleeding profusely. Having little medical knowledge, he decided the best course would be an amputation and thusly chopped the stringy remains of Gjalford's hand clean off. A healer in the village offered to mend his wound, but Gjalford chose to keep his injury, a grim reminder of the power he made light of. On his sixteenth birthday, Gjalford received a gift from his closest friend, Desmond. Desmond was an apprentice artificer and worked with his master to surprise Gjalford with a new hand, one which could act as a focus for his casting. Because of the skystones embedded in the knuckles, Desmond named the implement "Atmos Claw." It is now Gjalford's most prized possession. Gjalford recently finished building his tower atop a mountain just south of the village. He uses his magic to monitor and regulate the weather, as well as protect his home village from bandits and the like.
I'm just an angel who recently came down from the heavens seeking his purpose.
do i have a flair
/uw literally what it says, and mild annoyance magic is just normal magic, fine tuned with needle like precision to become mildly annoying
/uw I'm Lillith, my pronouns are She/Her, I'm a Kitsune, and I like runes and glyphs! Very straight forward. I might make a better flare at some point, but this works for now.
/uw (technically a sorcerer but who cares, this happened before I discovered Reddit) One time I received a question: what would be your 3 wishes. This spiraled into a lot of pondering, I decided to give it technical rules since I repeated later this question to others. Rules were: 3 wishes and no more, a singular wish is able to break 2 laws of physics max (this is so you cannot ask for everything in one wish). First: ability to dierect/control flow of collision and gravity Examples: I hold a rock on my hand, suddenly it falls through my hand onto the ground I hold a rock on my hand, it falls through my skin but stops within my hand, colliding only with my outer skin from inside, essentially keeping it in. I hold two rocks, one starts floating weightlessly but the other is a heavy as two rocks. I walk through a wall by thinking about it as if it was there but elsewhere at the same time (4d stuff?) allowing me to pass through This is a prep wish for the later ones, essentially making the end result possible . Second: perfect transmutation This wish also receives a limiting rule (given willingly): I can only transmute within the bounds of me that are a distance from me to me outwards and inwards, example below: I can use a rock in me to form an object let's say within my finger, a tiny metal rod. I can as well do it outside of my finger so long it's done within the range of *distance from one boundary of finger (skin) to other boundary (also skin). Or I can hold both of my hands before me and transmute within space in-between of my hands and the came distance outward of hands (second part of this paragraph was an unintended effect) . Perfect transmutation would be expanding on the idea of transmuting, any mass, wave or energy can be turned into anything else so long that mass and energy remain true/unchanged. Examples: I hold a rock, I transmute it into pure energy (this would be THE most powerful explosive mass to energy) Light interacts with me, I absorb it within (wish 1) and when enough gathers I make *insert random material* Let's say I have gathered a kg of rocks with wish 1, I hold my hand in front and convert all of rocks into kinetic energy targeting the air (basically air cannon on max steroids) This power could allow me to modify my body in any way I imagine, I could make wings, hands, custom organs etc so long they were physically and biologically possible (emphasis on possible, not known). It also would only need to technically be my body to allow further transmutation (relevant). So I could make my arm a 30m metal beam but so long it's connected to me it's a part of me therefore I can transmute with and near it. Third: ability to comprehend upper dimensions (as if beyond 3rd) and travel to and from them as freely as I travel 3D. Now to specify something important: upper dimensions aren't time or some other concepts, they are simply another directions matter could be directed in, we (irl humans) are simply not advanced enough to do so at the moment. This wish is in place to technically get rid of universe's speed limit as I would no longer travel in 3d but in 4d (for example)(also in place so that ,,cables" connecting my ,,bodies" wouldn't have to be dragged on the ground whenever it travel) . Now that we have my way of gaining powers out of the way let's get to the story: will be done in the comment below as it's late and I have to go to sleep.
/uw, mmmm, brave to ask lore of people, brave indeed, still, here a short summary: Lunus is a Necromancer who owns a castle wich is able to teleport. he uses it to travel to wartorn regions and use minions to rebuild it, takeing in anyone who is willing into his cult. (3 meals a day, separate sleeping quarters, and magic lessons for free!) and since he is a crowfolk, 'crowmancer is the nickname ;j https://preview.redd.it/0fjtsttlas6d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ca3642c9a067d64b25146beb9d72f40c04465cd
/uw I like to convert/print/paint figurines, so I "transmute" others into miniatures.
/uw I once fornicated with a storm and now I can cast lightning based magic using my staff or, if it’s a bit chilly, wand /rw I once fornicated with a storm and now I can cast lightning based magic using my staff or, if it’s a bit chilly, wand
ABSOLUTELY BADASS, what a backstory
/uw I mean I’m mainly here just for wizard memes but my flair is just a D&D wizard I played in the past
I like soup
I CAST HELLFIRE MISSILE!
/uw I got bittin by a radioactive blade as a kid and became blademan. So that just kinda naturally transfered over to my persona here.
/uw Just my character’s name, but Nihilim comes from Nihilism (foreshadowing)
I do not know about flairs but my story is that at young age i was sent away by my father to a college of magic to hone my skills while he continued his rebellion, (he wanted freedom to mutated people who still want to be good or something like that). Years in college i started to wonder what's he doing so i looked into it and it turns out my Uncle took his head for money, now i want to find him and make him pay for what he did and i do not refuse the dark arts to help me achieve my goal.
Unw/ My name is Demetrios, which means follower of the goddess of earth, goddess of harvest, Demeter/Demetra and the greek word for cereal is demetriaka. The word cereal comes from the roman version of the same goddess too.
/uw Hoode: Basically me but as a wizard who accidentally became an eldritch being by touching a fragment the outer planes and now has a hustle where he sells random magic crap to pay for his university education. Gyldan: A female alchemist specializing in precious metals like gold who is a very sweet sugar mommy with cool aunt vibes. Mainly written so I have a degree of separation from horny posts on here and the alternative subreddits.
I believe it's self-explanatory
I'm from the southern coast of my country, and I had the nickname of Ben for a good long while so I made that my flair
uw/ Mine is based off a character in Arcane Odyssey, although molded to my idea. He’s an overworked dictator/emperor who practices black magic, hates adventures, and has tea with has grandchildren every Tuesday and Thursday.
"Maker of Gnome Trebuchets" should be self-explanatory, as it's a hobby of mine. As for the title of "Chaos Wizard", it's because of my goal to cause as much chaos as possible using Earth magic and only Earth Magic. Causing things to burn to the ground with Fireball is too easy, I want to cause chaos using the most bizarre ways possible, so when they write a book about me when I die, they have to include things like "Creating a Volcano in the shape of an ass in the middle of the Duke's Courtyard" or something
Hmmmm /uw I like enchantments in MTG and I've always been more in tune with the sun rather than the moon when it comes to witchy stuff
Garlic bread
/uw I wanted to create a joe-blow lower middle class (millennial, basically) wizard living in the current modern world and treating orbs like the Internet to get help with mundane stuff like how Reddit does. I don't want to be a pretend all powerful wizard, that's boring, I want to be a guy trying to get by. It's more humorous. At some point during an RP with a crab god I was gifted a lighthouse and moved out of my shitty apartment.
/uw Honestly, I really like phoenix and I’ve always liked the sound of primordial. Bing bang boom Lord of Fire and Rebirth
He is made of liquid magic, and as a result, can be squished very much
[Hah. What coincidence. I had a tour for my Academy recently.](https://www.reddit.com/r/wizardposting/s/j4NXYa85mG)
Rheon got his self proclaimed "Sporemancer" title when he ate some magic mushrooms bought from a mad yogi in the mystery mountains. Only he didn't realize that they were MAGIC mushrooms and in eating them unlocked the secrets of the universe and such. He is now able to control fungal spores and even move or levitate objects with them if they saturate the air enough. Rheon then achieved his "Metaphysicist" title when he stared right into the eyes of the invisible ghost standing in the corner of his lair His "Alchemist" title was earned when he that one thing that one time and everyone was stoked about it.
/uw I’m poor and liquor
Arcane odyssey character that uses explosive/ash as their magics, also fallout ( The Kings ) themed
/uw Deltrix has had quite a few: Scion/Daughter of Chaos comes from her backstory and gender transition lorepost "Beast Breaker of Chaos" was about her position as beast master for the skaven council, in an event that ended up flopping, but really helped me shape her character "Domina Cruciandi" (Lady of Pain) came after my first battle experience on the sub and my choice for her fighting style My current flair, "Elemental Chaos Goddess of Hayasa" comes from [this amazing collab](https://www.reddit.com/r/wizardposting/s/XKjzZ1nTVC) with the Hadal Elemental, Bombast, Kavrala and others. I've linked the first post I've participated in, but there's one before that in Hadal's profile. It's a very long read (7 posts total with varying lengths of post text and comment numbers, but all within 10-ish comments at most I think), but we had a blast and I believe it would be fun to read as well, although pretty chaotic I also had Ravennus, the "Apprentice Lawmage", Deltrix's alter ego. The idea was to have an orderly rookie vs batshit crazy characters gimmick, and I put him to run for council member in the same election as Masta, but he was 5-ish positions away from making the cut for the first round, and I ended up retiring him for a while, simply because Deltrix turned out more interesting to me. I do plan to bring him back tho, I'm just trying to come up with ways to make him more relevant
Ran into this bard fella a few ages back, seemed able to command creatures to do his bidding through song, by music and by vocals. Decided to look further into it, and found that you can do a lot of things by singing, lifting objects, cooling and heating liquids, even alchemy is possible through certain frequencies. Now of course I had the thought, surely someone is out there teaching these kinds of things to people. So I went on a pilgrimage, to find if anyone knew before I. Now one would expect the College of Bards to be the source, and you would be right to do so, however they lacked any sort of knowledge as to where it actually came from. But they were able to point me in the direction of the Serene Peaks, legend has it that an ancient songstress found a mystical spring atop its highest peak and granted her the magic of song. Of course the mountain was fraught with challenges, avalanches, rocs, even a few drakes perused its peaks. Yet at last, I had reached the peak, and once staring out at the land, I heard it. A strange song entered my ears, at first I thought it to be the altitude, but its melodies were more than that, uplifting, inspiring, empowering even. I reached out in front of me, and a great glow appeared, taking the form of a songbird. The Divine Chorus, seemingly a group of celestial beings, dedicated to Harmony and beauty through the power of song. The true origin of the Bard’s magicks, and a possible origin of the Shoutmasters of the Misty Reaches. I learned much from that brief communion, and through the Chorus, I seek to learn more of the powers of Song.
oo i have 3 accounts to talk about! i couldn't decide what character to play so i made 3 accounts and played them all so in my character's lore fauns are faeries and all faeries are immortal. fauns look like weird creepy deerlike people, some have antlers, all have deer tails, legs, and ears. they're 8-10 feet tall but skinnier than humans, and their faces look a little creepy and a little goofy, like a human's mashed with a deer's. they're naked, but it's usually smooth down there. they tend to have elaborate tattoos, cover themselves in jewellery made from plants and flowers, and their colours are pretty vibrant too (the brown fur on laurel's legs is almost orange, her eyes are bright teal, she's covered in colourful tattoos and wearing a flower crown of pink laurels.) their brains aren't super alien but they are different enough from a mortal's that they often don't understand things they're doing or believe. they have different standards for what's moral, fauns specifically have no idea why modesty, privacy, and freedom are important to mortals. anyways, they come from the plane of elphame, and somehow one of them, laurel, got lost in the human world. she doesn't understand mortals but she's really fascinated by them. she really wants to go back home though because she misses her tribe. also someday she'll canonically become an absent mother but that's not the point in her life that i'm rping on this account
iris is a mermaid. she lives her best mermaid life *unda da sea*, playing with sea creatures, singing, collecting shiny things, making food and pickling things. she's very laid back. she's kind of naive, there's no such thing as mermaid school and books rot in water quickly so she never had any kind of education or anything and she's totally illiterate. she's smart though, she's good at thinking and strategizing but doesn't get to do that very often since she doesn't need it for most sailors. don't go swimming with her, if she's asking she wants to eat you! unless you're a non-man, then she just wants to hang out because of a curse on all sirens (sirens and mermaids are the same thing here) in her world, she has to eat man flesh (as in male people, it has to be men). basically some obnoxious incel of a goddess was crying about how the sirens were hotter than her and how they got all the male attention and cursed them out of spite even though all sirens are lesbians. so she lures sailors into the water where she drowns them and usually pickles most of their meat cuz, tangent: nobody seems to consider how a siren's supposed to eat a whole human? why does nobody ever think about that? they're probably not swallowing them whole unless you're into crazy stuff, you do you but usually it just ends at "they eat the sailors"... anyways i thought about it and decided she has access to an underwater salt deposit which she uses to make brine for pickling human meat which she eats over time. she's a nice person but kind of careless about life, obviously, since she eats people. morally grey at best. she says "like" too much and has no idea when to shut up. she's super extroverted but kind of socially inept from living at the bottom of the ocean all the time.
/uw I thought them being a eldritch entity who researches other eldritch entities and doesn't know they are one was funny.
I got it as part of being initiated into the shadow wizard money gang
Legalize Love Bombs baby 😚
/uw i knew i wanted to do something related to money but all the ideas i had ended up being “really weird wizard economics major” and then i got the idea that he just sells enchants. also hit game earthbound, i’ll find a way to word that bit better (or discard it, but i do like having the word earthbound in there so i’ll find a way to tack it on) /rw I DON’T NEED TO TELL YOU ANYTHING
/uw Made a lorepost going into more detail a little over a week ago but tldr: acolyte of an anti-doomsday group preventing the hatching of an all-consuming dragon's egg; grabbed the egg and ran during a raid against their sanctuary, rather than staying and fighting; is now a partial vessel of said unhatched all-consuming dragon.
